Finally after a good month's absence we're back with this token episode. No actual episodes of Trek are mentioned, but as promised, we do elaborate on two Trek-themed Futurama episodes and rattle on about some of the work Shatner and Nimoy did in the 70s. Strangely, we take up the same amount of time talking about these episodes as the episodes' actual length.

:40 -- Apologies/theories about short supply of Season 36:00 -- Shatner's rendition of "Rocket Man"8:43 -- Nimoy's rendition of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"13:37 -- "Sabotaage"15:11 -- "Why Must I Be a Crustacean In Love?"27:05 -- "Where No Fan Has Gone Before"39:18 -- End and outro

Arrghh! In writing up the chronology I'm now remembering that Janine Garafalo references the pronunciation of "sabotage" in Mystery Men and we didn't talk about it. Arrghh!

the point of this

J.R. used to make fun of Jon for watching Star Trek. Now J.R. has agreed to watch Star Trek from the very beginning so that he can objectively continue to make fun of Jon. Will he waver? Join his long, arduous journey.
